9.4 The Program ADDNEQ2<br />

• Pre-eliminate ambiguity parameters PRIOR TO NEQ SAVING in <strong>GPS</strong>EST when saving<br />

normal equations.<br />

• Pre-eliminate epoch parameters (clock parameters, kinematic coordinates, stochastic<br />

ionosphere parameters) PRIOR TO NEQ SAVING in <strong>GPS</strong>EST when saving normal equations.<br />

Parameters may be back-substituted in a subsequent step (see Section 9.5.3).<br />

• Earth orientation parameters are saved in the normal equations by <strong>GPS</strong>EST as offset<br />

and drift. In order to force conversion to a piece-wise linear representation specify the<br />

parameter spacing in ADDNEQ2 (see Section 9.4.5).<br />

9.4.9 SINEX Files<br />

9.4.9.1 Writing SINEX Files<br />

ADDNEQ2 supports the writing of SINEX <strong>Version</strong> 1.00. Station coordinates and velocities,<br />

troposphere parameters, Earth orientation parameters, and geocenter coordinates may<br />

be included as parameters. Other parameters have to be pre-eliminated (before or after<br />

stacking) when writing the solution to a SINEX file.<br />

The information for the SINEX header blocks “FILE/REFERENCE”, “FILE/COMMENT”, and<br />

“INPUT/ACKNOWLEDGMENTS” is taken from the SINEX information file that is specified in<br />

option “SINEX header file” in panel “ADDNEQ2 1.1: General Files” (see Section 22.4.14). Adapt<br />

the content of this file to your needs before exchanging SINEX files with other institutions.<br />

All other SINEX header information is extracted from the input normal equations and<br />

are originally written by <strong>GPS</strong>EST based on the station information file or the phase<br />

center file. This includes the station descriptions in the “SITE/ID” block, receiver and<br />

antenna names in the “SITE/RECEIVER” and “SITE/ANTENNA” blocks, antenna eccentricities<br />

in the “SITE/ECCENTRICITY” block, and antenna phase center offsets in the<br />

“SITE/<strong>GPS</strong> PHAS CENTER” block. Receiver serial number or firmware versions as well as<br />

antenna numbers are not written. The name of the antenna calibration model is obtained<br />

from characters 13-22 of the title line of the <strong>Bernese</strong> phase center file if specified in a hidden<br />

keyword in the program input file and if the title starts with the string “MODEL NAME”.<br />
